An aqueous solution of boric acid is found to be weakly acidic in nature. This acidic character arises due to the following reasons.
A. It is a protic acid which donates protons in aqueous solution.
B. It is a Lewis acid which abstracts `OH^(-)` from water and leaves `H^(+)` to make to solution acidic
C. It gives metaboric acid when dissolved in water.
D. It is prepared by reaction of borax with sulphuric acid hence it behaves as an acid.
